Wappapello Lake

Search Wappapello Missouri

Completed in 1941, this 8,400-acre lake has grown to be a favorite for recreational opportunities in southeast Missouri, not the least because of the large tracts of public land surrounding extending to Mark Twin National Forest offering scenic beauty and three national hiking trails, plus the Trail at greenville and 12 miles of the Ozark Trail. For fishing, crappie is the best followed by bass and catfish. Numerous campgrounds and marina dot the shoreline as well as Wappapello State Park and Sam Baker State Park facilities.
